Who We Are

Clark Reviews is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program (Amazon Associates Program), an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon. This means we may earn a commission when you click on Amazon affiliate links and make qualifying purchases. These commissions come at no additional cost to you.


Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam and protect our site.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to Gravatar to check if you are using the service. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible alongside your comment. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy via Automattic.

If you upload images to our site, please avoid uploading files containing embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download images from the site and extract any included location information.
